Precious metals

It is used as money. To take a page from your playbook:

 

And to get technical:

 

So back on topic, Janet Yellen just signaled a rate hike by the end of the year. That's great news for the dollar and equity markets, bad news for PMs....

 

What we don't understand is that as the dollar drops everything goes up...
So if the dollar drops 1/2 the cost of silver will double ect....
Gold in brazil is over $4000
now if the money is loosing value and PMs appear to go up people will want to save in PMs but there is not that much around...
so if even 1% more people want PMs the price will go crazy and the higher the price goes the more people will rush in......
If the dollar crashes PMs will go through the roof... Just apple could buy all the available PMs at these prices...
There will be a huge top in PMs, Huge.....

Here is a grade level, but good vid on money....

 

Haven't herd that before, she's the little girl that cries wolf.....

 

Palladium is great, because it is going up no matter what happens..........
Unless we stop making cars.........

 

Wait, isn't Brazil one of those countries you said was trying to topple the dollar. Looks like they are doing a good job of it .

If gold is worth $4K USD in Brazil why aren't people shipping there gold their and swapping over to other PM's for security. I don't know a single trader that wouldn't move gold reserves at 300% return.

LOL, you keep talking about apple buying everything up and it makes me laugh. They won't, trust me. They'd sooner switch to Antimony based solder over buying up piles of silver and storing them in China.

 

Thing is it's not just cars. The US is getting gun hoe about natural gas power generation. Those plants have massive catalytic converters that need to be replaced every few years.

 

Are we now shifting to sheep as an investment?

 

How many sheep can I fit in a fire safe?

 

Sheep provide food, milk, clothing and can be use for bartering..... (I'm not getting sheep)

 

Could really take off if fuel cells become popular, think I read about Toyota or Honda moving a lot of resources into it. Teslas are cool but I can't see myself waiting 45min to fillup so I just don't know if it's here to last (tho Tesla is certainly willing to spend to put in the infrastructure).

 

Russia just gave Ovechkin a sheep for his 30th birthday, and since taking advice from Russia is suddenly a thing, I may implement this for all 30 birthdays as a hedge.

 

Palladium is also used as an electrode in the aluminum air battery a few places are working on.

It's a really big future demand metal.

 

Yes Brazil is the B in BRICS and they suck, so that is good for the dollar...... I'm sharing it, not hiding it.......
But I don't think China or Russia need Brazil monetarily, but they are the 7th largest GDP in the world.....

 

China and Russia need each other more than the world needs them. China is learning that right now as there entire economy is based off making things for other countries. Manufacturing can move.

 

I read about those, wicked cool minus the fact they can't be recharged. Never realized it was another application of palladium.

 

IIRC you need it or Rhodium to prevent excessive corrosion of one of the electrodes, part of why that technology is pricey.

 

So you're going to ignore the Fed and the market as they signal higher rates? Is this because it goes against your theory of the dollar being replaced as the world's reserve currency? Could it be because it looks as if the world isn't ending? Could it mean that we aren't about to experience hyper inflation and there's no need to rush out and buy a loaf of bread before it hits $50?

 

Shhh... He's finding a youtube video right now of a guy on a webcam that can disprove your point with his K12 education in macroeconomics. If you bug him too much he will just post coin pictures.
